if mr. obama wins a crucial question will be whether to nudge republicans to moderate their positions or whether they decide that nominee mitt romney was not ideological enough. but mr. obama wasn't faultless. even when conservative republicans such as senator tom coburn of oklahoma signaled the willingness to deal, the president failed to show the leadership that might have made something happen. most fundamentally any solution to the nation's fiscal crisis is going to require compromise. no matter who is in charge, taxes will have to go up and entitlements scaled back. the math doesn't work any other way. is this, do you think, the fundamental question that still needs to be asked of this president. >> the question is, harold ford, how are the next four years different from the last four years? and the white house, as i've said, is very quick to point at the republicans and say it was all their fault. republicans will do the same thing with the white house. democratic white house. but he i

also left unsaid by mr. obama but free for the telling by mr. romney is that as the u.s. unemployment rate hit 9.5% in june 2009 and a shocked public was looking for a response, the new president introduced the affordable care act for the next few months. when mr. obama signed the law into march in 2010, the unemployment rate was 9.8%. if an opponent wanted to describe this in partisan terms, he might say that the president signed an entitlement dream while the economy burned. >> i think there's a certain spin on it. i think the president's argument would be when you become president, you usually get a couple years to get your big things done. health care was something he identified early on as a big thing that needed to get done, and he was going to use his political capital to get that done. and obviously in retrospect, i think we would all agree the economic recovery has been slower, but he felt the stimulus program and other things he was doing would be enough to start this economy on the right trend, and it did, just not as quickly as we would have all liked. >> joe?
